The tribesmen began to consciously bring back the brownish-red slime they found, which was a very good phenomenon.

Yan Zheng can already expect that a certain clansman will find him a piece of iron ore one day.

As long as he has this awareness, he believes that this day will come.

What's more, collecting iron colony slime is also a way to obtain iron, and although the yield is very low, it is similar to collecting iron sand.

Unfortunately, this slime is gone after it is dug up. Unlike the iron sand in the big river, you can find it every day.

Therefore, in order to get more iron, more people must consciously go for it.

To encourage more people to search, the only way to do this is to make the collection of iron-related minerals profitable.

For this reason, Yan Zheng was going to make an offer to all the tribes, and in the future, as long as any tribe was willing to trade, he would tell them that as long as they found the stone he described, he could accept it for a large price.

He felt that once there were more tribes involved in this matter, the probability of finding iron ore would be much greater.

He asked his people to dispose of the slime they had brought back, and at the same time instructed them to remember to mark along the way, especially in the direction where they found the most slime.

He decided to wait until he had deterred the surrounding tribes and made sufficient preparations before launching a prospecting operation.

Two days later, he asked Lan Ya to weave the bamboo armor finally compiled, and the whole set was about more than 200 pieces of bamboo armor.

This simplified bamboo armor, although a bit nondescript, can be somewhat similar in structure to cloth armor.

In addition to the front and back armor, there are leather armor neck guards, robes, shoulder swallows, and arm covers, and skirt armor and hanging legs on the bottom.

Where it is not suitable for the bamboo armor to be placed, all leather armor is used instead. The helmet is woven of rattan and sewn with a layer of leather.

Although there is no feeling of domineering side leakage, it still feels like there is a lot of protection after wearing it.

With the help of Lan Ya, Yan Zheng put on this bamboo armor.

After shaking it for a while, he immediately understood what needed to be improved, and the joints were still a little inflexible, and there was a feeling of looseness.

And the bamboo armor is too thick, and the whole person looks a little bloated.

But in the Wilderness, there was no better alternative.

Yan Zheng tried to take two steps and said, "The shoes still don't fit!" ”

"You need a smaller drill to fit better!" Lan Ya looked at it and said.

"You can get a pair of shoes, too!"

"The shoes are uncomfortable."

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "Only when you wear shoes can you protect your feet." ”

Lan Ya shook her head and said, "The hunters need it, but the women of the tribe don't need it." ”

"All of them are needed, and in the future, there will be more animal skins, and everyone will be able to wear shoes. If you have a lot of hemp, you can also use hemp to make shoes. ”

"There is not much hemp, and I can only collect some of it every year."

"If you don't have a lot of hemp, plant it!" Yan Zheng strode out of the thatched house.

Lan Ya also walked out, she first went to inspect the two chickens, sprinkled a handful of millet and said, "The divine bird has grown a lot!" ”

Yan Zheng took a look, and when the two chickens saw him in armor, they shrank into the corner of the chicken pen.

"You'll have to break their wings or tie a rock to their feet."

"Why?"

"If you don't, they'll fly away when they grow a little bigger."

Lan Ya looked at the two chickens hesitantly for a while, and finally chose to tie a stone to their feet.

In fact, it is best to break off the wings, and when humans first tamed animals, they even blinded the animals' eyes.

It is only after two or three generations that the animal's closeness to humans gradually stabilizes and becomes a qualified domestic animal.

Yan Zheng looked at the struggling chickens for a while, they were very distressed at the beginning of the extra burden on their feet, and kept trying to get rid of it.

But after a futile moment, he ate silently again.

Yan Zheng sighed, why aren't people so tamed?

He wore his armor and walked into the leader's thatched hut, and as soon as he entered the house, the leader and the witch immediately cast their shiny eyes.

Yan Zheng stood in front of the leader and Wu with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is the armor I made, if the young people of the tribe wear such armor, will our tribe not be strong enough?" ”

The leader and the witch stared at the bamboo armor motionlessly, and they could see the armor's increase in personal combat effectiveness almost at a glance.

"Good, good stuff!" The leader stood up with a smile, trembling with excitement touching the bamboo armor.

Wu Cheng praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's so beautiful! If it is paired with the feathers of the divine bird, it will be even more dazzling! ”

Yan Zheng took off his helmet with a smile and said, "This armor only needs twine and leather, plus some bamboo pieces. As you can see, with iron, we can easily use bamboo, and with bamboo, we have bamboo armor. ”

"With bamboo armor and iron weapons, the warriors of our tribe can be ten with one. If we want to hunt headhunters in the future, it is too simple, but is headhunting good for us? Many of the things I bring to the tribe are not headhunters. ”

"Everything in our tribe is not by headhunting, but by the hard work of the clansmen. Killing people does not mean that this person is brave, for us, killing people has become easier and simpler! ”

The leader's smile dissipated, and he withdrew the hand that touched the bamboo armor and said, "Young people can go headhunting without wearing this!" ”

"Isn't it stupid to have armor and not use it?" Yan Zheng smiled and asked, "Since it can reduce injuries for young people, why not use it?" ”

The leader was speechless for a moment, and this was a paradoxical question.

Headhunters represent bravery, and that's because headhunters take huge risks and sometimes have to pay with their lives.

But wearing armor and going headhunting, it will no longer be too difficult. Does that still represent bravery?

It would be foolish to go headhunting without wearing armor.

Yan Zheng saw that the leader was still thinking about how to refute, so he smiled and said, "Leader, in fact, with armor, it means that we have stronger strength than other tribes since then. But in the future, we can't rely on strong force to kill all the people of a tribe at will. ”

"In the future, we should hoe the strong and help the weak!"

"Hoe the strong and help the weak?" The leader asked, confused.

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "Relying on our own stronger force to bully the weak tribe, hunt their heads at will, and rob their hunting grounds and prey, we will kill the people of this powerful tribe." So that this powerful tribe is no longer strong, and it can no longer bully the weak tribe. ”

"The weak tribes are too weak, so we have to help them, let them be under the protection of our tribe, as long as they hand over some property every year."

"And whenever you conquer a powerful tribe, inform the other tribes, and let all the tribes understand that we can adjudicate justice for them!"

The leader and the witch pondered these words, and after a moment the two looked at each other in surprise.

As the rulers of the savages, after all, they have been immersed in power for many years, and they quickly understood that the method proposed by Yan Zheng almost perfectly met the needs of all aspects!

It can be said that the program of hoeing the strong and helping the weak not only meets the needs of tribal headhunters, but also gives headhunters a new connotation.

From now on, headhunting is no longer headhunting for the sake of headhunting, no longer simply headhunting for the recognition of ancestral spirits, but with a new value orientation in it.

The leader and the witch naturally did not expect that these four words also firmly occupied the high ground of righteousness and morality, giving them a very legitimate reason for the headhunting behavior of their tribe.

It can also fight competitors and dangerous people, as long as it threatens their tribe, they can be hoeed. All those who do not accept them to help the weak can be treated as strong.

The strength and weakness of the situation, in the future, Yan Zheng will have the final say!

Yan Zhengdu admired that he could come up with such a program, and from now on, the savage world will have more morality to hoe the strong and help the weak.

"Hoe the strong and help the weak!" After the leader figured it out, he smiled happily and said, "I promise you that I won't let the clansmen hunt heads at will in the future!" You're right, headhunters can't go to weak tribes.

We have also been banished by powerful tribes, and almost half of our people have been killed. At that time, I was desperate, and like a coward, I had to abandon the hunting ground and move with the rest of my people. If there had been a tribe at that time that could hoe the strong and help the weak, I would definitely go to them. ”

Is this empathy? Yan Zheng smiled and said, "As long as we gather all the weak tribes, we can make them accept our rules." ”

Speaking of which, Yan Zheng didn't say any more. Naturally, he wanted to extend the rules of hoeing the strong and helping the weak and trading to all tribes, so that they would no longer hunt each other's heads.

To use a more advanced word, this is called the united front, which makes more friends and fewer enemies.

I believe that in the end, no matter how powerful the tribe is, it will have to be beaten into a weak tribe, and then have to accept their help.

And when they are pinched together, it is not up to him to decide what to do.

"Chief, please let the tribesmen, hurry up and weave bamboo armor, three days later, I hope the tribe is young and strong, and they can wear armor!" Yan Zheng said with a smile.

The leader promised: "Let the women of the tribe, put aside other things in the past few days, go and weave armor, and take out all the animal skins to make armor!" ”
